are  unloaded  above-^north,  east,  or  west  of — this  line  to  be  fed  or 
watered,  or  for  other  purposes,  said  cattle  shall  be  placed  in  pens  or 
yards  set  apart  for  infected  cattle,  and  no  other  cattle  shall  be 
admitted  thereto. 

(b)  On  unloading  said  cattle  at  their  points  of  destination,  chutes, 
alleyways,  and  pens,  sufiiciently  isolated,  shall  be  set  apart  to  receive 
them,  and  no  other  cattle  shall  be  admitted  to  said  chutes,  pens,  and

have  carried  said  stock  shall  be  cleansed  and  disinfected  as  soon  as 
possible  after  unloading  and  before  they  are  again  used  to  transport,

point  at  which  they  have  been  unloaded  to  other  points  of  destina- 
tion, the  cars  carrying  said  animals  shall  bear  on  both  sides  similar 
placards  with  like  statements,  and  the  waybills,  conductor’s  mani- 
fests, or  bills  of  lading  be  so  stamped.  At  whatever  point  these 
j ' cattle  are  unloaded  they  must  be  placed  in  separate  pens,  to  which

transferring  the  said  cattle  from  the  landing  to  the  stock  yards  and 
slaughterhouses  without  passing  over  public  highways,  unless  per- 
mission for  such  passing  is  first  obtained  from  the  local  authorities. 

(e)  The  cars  and  boats  used  to  transport  such  animals,  the  chutes, 
alleyways,  and  pens  used  during  transportation  and  at  points  of  des- 
tination, shall  be  disinfected  in  the  following  manner : 

Remove  all  litter  and  manure.  This  litter  and  manure  may  be 
disinfected  by  mixing  it  with  lime  or  saturating  it  with  a 5 per  cent 
solution  of  1 00  per  cent  carbolic  acid,  or,  if  not  disinfected,  it  may 
be  stored  where  no  cattle  can  come  in  contact  with  it  during  the 
period  from  February  1 to  November  15  of  each  year. 

Wash  the  cars  and  the  feeding  and  watering  troughs  with  water 
until  clean. 

Saturate  the  entire  interior  surface  of  the  cars  and  the  fencing, 
troughs,  and  chutes  of  the  pens  with  a mixture  made  of  pounds 
of  lime  and  one-quarter  pound  of  100  per  cent  straw-colored  carbolic 
acid  to  each  gallon  of  water;  or  a solution  made  by  dissolving  4 
ounces  of  chloride  of  lime  to  each  gallon  of  water  may  be  used ; or 
disinfect  the  cars  with  a jet  of  steam  under  a pressure  of  not  less 
than  50  pounds  to  the  square  inch. 

5.  Cattle  from  the  Republic  of  Mexico  may  be  admitted  into  the 
United  States,  after  inspection  according  to  law,  as  follows: 

Cattle  free  from  splenetic,  or  Texas,  fever,  and  from  contact  there- 
with during  the  six  months  preceding  such  inspection,  and  which 


4 


have  been  grazed  in  a locality  free  from  infection  of  such  fever,  may 


be  admitted  into  any  part  of  the  United  States.  If  destined  to  points 


in  the  noninfected  area,  a special  permit  must  be  obtained  from  an 
inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  said  permit  being  issued 


according  to  the  regulations  of  said  Bureau.  The  cattle  for  which 


said  permit  is  issued  must  not  be  driven  through  the  infected  area, 
nor  be  unloaded  in  any  part  thereof  except  at  such  a point  as  may  be 
duly  designated  by  an  order  issued  by  this  Department.  If  shipped 
in  infected  cars  or  unloaded  in  the  infected  area,  except  as  above 
stated,  they  will  be  subject  to  the  regulations  concerning  infectious 
cattle. 

6.  Notice  is  hereby  given  that  cattle  infested  with  the  Boophilus 
annulatus  {B.  bovis),  or  Southern  cattle  tick,  disseminate  the  con- 
tagion of  splenetic.  Southern,  or  Texas  fever;  therefore  cattle 
originating  outside  of  the  district  described  by  this  order  or  amend- 
ments thereof,  and  which  are  infested  with  the  Boophilus  annulatus 
ticks,  shall  be  considered  as  infectious  cattle  and  shall  be  subject  to 
the  rules  and  regulations  governing  the  movement  of  Southern  cattle. 

7.  Stock-yard  companies  receiving  cattle  infested  with  said  ticks, 
shall  place  such  cattle  in  the  pens  set  aside  for  the  use  of  Southern 
cattle,  and  transportation  companies  are  required  to  clean  and  disin- 
fect all  cars  and  boats  which  have  contained  the  same,  according  to 
the  requirements  of  this  Department. 

8.  Inspectors  are  instructed  to  see  that  disinfection  is  properly 
done,  and  to  report  instances  of  improper  disinfection.  It  is  expected 
that  transportation  and  stock-yard  companies  will  promptly  put  into 
operation  the  above  methods. 

All  prior  orders  conflicting  herewith  are  hereby  revoked.

are  unloaded  above — north,  east,  or  west  of — this  line  to  be  fed  or 
watered,  or  for  other  purposes,  said  cattle  shall  be  placed  in  pens  or 
yards  set  apart  for  infected  cattle,  and  no  other  cattle  shall  be 
admitted  thereto. 

(b)  On  unloading  said  cattle  at  their  points  of  destination,  chutes, 
alleyways,  and  pens,  sufficiently  isolated,  shall  be  set  apart  to  receive 


3 


them,  and  no  other  cattle  shall  be  admitted  to  said  chutes,  pens,  and 
alleyways ; and  the  regulations  relating  to  the  movement  of  cattle 
from  said  area,  prescribed  by  the  cattle  sanitary  officers  of  the  State 
where  unloaded,  shall  be  carefully  observed.  The  cars  or  boats  that 
have  carried  said  stock  shall  be  cleansed  and  disinfected  as  soon  as 
possible  after  unloading  and  before  they  are  again  used  to  transport, 
store,  or  shelter  animals  or  merchandise. 

(c)  All  cars  carrying  cattle  from  said  area  shall  bear  printed  pla- 
cards, the  letters  of  which  shall  be  plain  and  not  less  than  inches 
in  height,  to  be  affixed  by  the  railroad  company  hauling  the  same, 
stating  that  said  cars  contain  Southern  cattle ; and  each  of  the  way- 
bills, conductor’s  manifests,  and  bills  of  lading  of  said  shipments  by 
cars  or  boats  shall  have  a note  plainly  written  or  stamped  upon  its 
face  with  a similar  statement.  Whenever  any  cattle  have  come 
from  said  area  and  shall  be  reshipped  from  any  point  at  which  they 
have  been  unloaded  to  other  points  of  destination,  the  cars  carrying- 
said  animals  shall  bear  similar  placards  with  like  statements,  and 
the  waybills,  conductor’s  manifests,  or  bills  of  lading,  be  so  stamped. 
At  whatever  point  these  cattle  are  unloaded,  they  must  be  placed  in 
separate  pens  to  which  no  other  cattle  shall  be  admitted. 

{d)  No  boat  having  on  board  cattle  from  said  district  shall  receive 
on  board  cattle  from  outside  of  said  district.  Cattle  from  said  dis- 
trict shall  not  be  received  on  board  when  destined  to  points  outside 
of  said  district  where  proper  facilities  have  not  been  provided  for 
transferring  the  said  cattle  from  the  landing  to  the  stock  yards  and 
slaughter  houses  without  passing  over  public  highways,  unless  per- 
mission for  such  passing  is  first  obtained  from  the  local  authorities. 

(c)  The  cars  and  boats  used  to  transport  such  animals,  the  chutes, 
alleyways,  and  pens  used  during  transportation  and  at  points  of 
destination,  shall  be  disinfected  in  the  following  manner : 

Remove  all  litter  and  manure.  This  litter  and  manure  may  be 
disinfected  by  mixing  it  with  lime  or  saturating  it  with  a 5 per  cent 
solution  of  100  per  cent  carbolic  acid ; or,  if  not  disinfected,  it  may 
be  stored  where  no  cattle  can  come  in  contact  with  it  during  the 
period  from  February  1 to  November  15  of  each  year. 

Wash  the  cars  and  the  feeding  and  watering  troughs  with  water 
until  clean. 

Saturate  the  entire  interior  surface  of  the  cars  and  the  fencing, 
troughs,  and  chutes  of  the  pens  with  a mixture  made  of  1^  pounds 
of  lime  and  one-quarter  pound  of  100  per  cent  straw-colored  carbolic 
acid  to  each  gallon  of  water;  or  a solution  made  by  dissolving  4 
ounces  of  chloride  of  lime  to  each  gallon  of  water  may  be  used ; or 
disinfect  the  cars  with  a jet  of  steam  under  a pressure  of  not  less 
than  50  pounds  to  the  square  inch.

5.  Cattle  from  the  Republic  of  Mexico  may  be  admitted  into  the 
United  States,  after  inspection  according  to  law,  as  follows : 

Cattle  free  from  splenetic,  or  Texas,  fever,  and  from  contact  there- 
with during  the  three  months  preceding  such  inspection,  and  which 
have  been  grazed  in  a locality  free  from  infection  of  such  fever, 
may  be  admitted  into  any  part  of  the  United  States.  If  destined  to 
points  in  the  non-infected  area,  a special  permit  must  be  obtained 
from  an  inspector  of  the  feureau  of  Animal  Industry,  said  permit 
being  issued  according  to  the  regulations  of  said  Bureau ; the  cattle 
for  which  said  permit  is  issued  must  not  be  driven  through  the 
infected  area,  nor  be  unloaded  in  any  part  thereof  except  at  such  a 
point  as  may  be  duly  designated  by  an  order  issued  by  this  Depart- 
ment ; if  shipped  in  infected  cars,  or  unloaded  in  the  infected  area, 
except  as  above  stated,  they  will  be  subject  to  the  regulations  con- 
cerning infectious  cattle. 

6.  Notice  is  hereby  given  that  cattle  infested  with  the  Boophilus 
bovis,  or  Southern  cattle  tick,  disseminate  the  contagion  of  splenetic. 
Southern,  or  Texas,  fever ; therefore  cattle  originating  outside  of  the 
district  described  by  this  order,  or  amendments  thereof,  and  which 
are  infested  with  the  Boophilus  hovis  ticks,  shall  be  considered  as 
infectious  cattle  and  shall  be  subject  to  the  rules  and  regulations 
governing  the  movement  of  Southern  cattle. 

7.  Stock-yard  companies  receiving  cattle  infested  with  said  ticks 
shall  place  such  cattle  in  the  pens  set  aside  for  the  use  of  Southern 
cattle,  and  transportation  companies  are  required  to  clean  and  dis- 
infect all  cars  and  boats  which  have  contained  the  same,  according 
to  the  requirements  of  this  Department. 

8.  Inspectors  are  instructed  to  see  that  disinfection  is  properly 
done,  and  to  report  instances  of  improper  disinfection.  It  is  expected 
that  transportation  and  stock-yard  companies  will  promptly  put  into 
operation  the  above  methods. 

All  prior  orders  conflicting  herewith  are  hereby  revoked.
